Diamond 9

This an example of a Diamond 9 card sort, where for this task each card represents an identifier for when assessment is working. The sorting exercise asks you to place the card with the greatest impact on learning at the top, down to those with the least at the bottom. This type of activity can be used in the classroom to encourage discussion.
